Is it normal for kids to be naked in front of their parents?

I am a single mother and have two girls aged 10 and 12. For almost their entire lives I have made them go naked in private e.g. they sleep nude, watch tv nude etc. When they were younger it was just easier for them to be nude and they don't seem to have ever minded. However my older daughter is now hitting puberty and I am beginning to wonder whether it is normal for a girl her age to be naked in front of her mother. Is there an age when she should cover up at home? I am wary of asking her until I can be certain of whether this is normal. Just to be clear, they are never nude when we have guests, even family and I have never made them go naked in public places.

    I'd talk to them about it and let them decide what they feel comfortable doing.

    I'm 18 and still walk around the house naked in front of my mom and sister (13)... It's just us that live here so like my dad doesn't see us or whatever... But I don't just sit around and watch tv naked... But like when wer getting ready well walk between r bedrooms and the bathroom naked and such... So yes I would say it's totally normal

    Why did you 'make them go nude'?

    Your older girl is coming up to puberty and needs some privacy. I think people would wonder more why you want them to be nude!?

    I think this is fake!

    Completely normal. In our family we are all comfortable walking around each other naked. When other family members or guests come we all dress up of course. I bathed many times with my children as well. If they grew up to be nudist it's not that big of a deal. Only because of the society people are thinking about it as something weird.

    it is totally normal (i dont think you should "make them go nude" but you should talk to them and let them decide) you should ask them what they think, personally i think clothes are restricting and a pain in the ass so i think you are doing them a good thing by showing them that they dont NEED to wear clothes all the time and letting them experience the freedom.

    There does tend to be a cut off point between the ages 4 - 8... the further the kids go beyond that, the weirder it gets >.>

    they were naked from the beginning so they would not have any body image issues or hangups with being naked when they growup . so its fine to let them stay naked since they now like being naked all the time . happens all the time in other households all around the world .

    The right age to cover up is when youstart asking what the right age is.....I get it you dont want her to be ashamed of her body ...but Your smart , youll figure out how to tell her without making her feel ashamed

    but don't push nudism on her! it is up to her. obviously let her wear clothes whenever she wants. she will decide for herself what she is comfortable with. there is no age when nudism becomes inappropriate especially between family. Nudism is never inappropriate in family no matter what age(as long as it doesn't become sexual obviously)

    let them be naked as long they want-no matter what age- but don't " make them be naked". it is great to teach them not to be ashamed of their bodies and to be comfortable with their bodies.but it's their choice to be or not be naked when they want. I have a 3 1/2 son and heloves running around naked at home. we are usually naked at home. he learns a lot too. there is not gonna be any big shocking puberty talk cause he already knows it all- differences between boys and girls, how boys change, basically where babies come from. when you are comfortable being naked with your immediate family all the "akwardness" of these questions dissapear and it just becomes normal- like it should be. and in general seeing your body naked often inspires you to take of yourself more and exercise more- at least in my exoerience
